Hi Parents,

It is wonderful to be back!  Thank you for all of the emails and cards of encouragement!  They truly made a difference!

Mrs. Boggs did an amazing job while I was away.  She is a treasure to the children and me.

A Peek at Next Week:

Media Center: Monday, December 12th.  Please send in your child's Media Center book if you still have one at home.

New Sight Words:   run, on, from, big  I will test on December 20th.

We will complete our unit on Fairy Tales and continue with Gingerbread Man/Boy/Girl theme. If you have any versions of the Gingerbread Boy please send them into share.

I would like to ask each child to bring in their favorite Holiday book to share with the class. Mrs. Boggs and I will read these books to the class over the next two weeks.  It is also okay to send in a souvenir with your child's book but not necessary.  (Example: Polar Express - Jingle Bell) We will read the stories as they come into class.  Please do not feel pressured about having a book here on a certain date.

I will also assess numbers to 20 over the next 2 weeks.

Lulu needs a home next weekend!

Have a Great Weekend, Debbie

Thanksgiving in Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten classroom has been a very busy place as we prepare for our Thanksgiving Feast on Tuesday, November 15th.  All the kindergarten classes will gather together to celebrate the First Thanksgiving.  Our class will dress up as Native Americans!  Thanks so much for sending in T-shirts.  Our room parents have dyed them, and the children have done an amazing job decorating them.  The children have also been working hard to earn their Native American feathers for being a good friend, a good listener, a good helper and for following directions well!  Please remember to send in the food that you were assigned in the morning.  All food should be sent in a disposable container to make it easier for clean-up. 

Thanks, Debbie

Lulu

Hi Parents,

I just want to say how much the children love having a class pet.  I was a little timid about adopting LuLu at first, however, the children think she is wonderful.  Tiffany McCarter made a precious notebook for Lulu to take with her as she travels and has advertures visiting your homes. It is so much fun to share the notebook on Monday when Lulu returns to her home in Room 104! Thanks a ton for helping us take care of her. Several students have given her bedding, food, hay, and treats.  Lulu needed a good home and I think she has found the perfect place!  You are all awesome!

Debbie

Media Center

Hi Parents,

At Tritt teachers sign-up for a time to visit the Media Center for check out and lessons/story.  I try to make  Tuesday appointments but sometimes all of the slots are full.   This month we will visit the Media Center on Tuesday, November 15th and Tuesday, November 29th.   We return the books to the Media Center as they come into class.  This way your child will be allowed to check out a book on Media Center Day!

Thanks so much, Debbie
